Hey Team,
I thought we continued with a high level of play, but just looked a bit sluggish. I'm very happy that we never gave up--this team always plays hard to the final minute and we did so again today. I moved players around trying to give the kids a chance at new positions (and seeing if we could get someone who really wanted to score--I think the desire was there, but we just didn't quite finish). Our players have been eschewing playing goalie, and James stepped up to play when nobody wanted to go in as keeper second half. He made a great final stop and followed with a solid drop kick. Other solid plays came off the heads of Kyler and Zane. Isaac took a kick to the stomach and kept going, and Logan was running so hard his feet left the ground! (then he fell--but the grin never left his face :-)
At any rate, I'd like to hold practice again on Tuesday (5:30, Mt Side) to continue working on fundamentals--we need to score! 1-0 or 4-0 is still a shutout against us, so we need to work on placing shots on target this Tuesday.
Thanks,
Dave
